Two women are standing in a bar with drinks.
Jenny: So Lisa, what did you do this weekend?
Lisa imagines the following dialogue in a thought bubble.
Lisa: Well our guild's healer finally hit 80, so we ran her through some dungeons to get geared. Oh and on the way I got exalted with Wyrmrest, so now I have those awesome bracers. I stayed up Saturday night fishing for Mr. Pinchy but gave up around 5am. And Sunday I spent farming for mats and powerleveling my shaman alt!
Jenny: OMG, you're so cool!
Lisa's fantasy of coming clean about she spends her time bursts and she's brought back to reality.
Lisa: Saturday, I uh, ran and 10k and went to a wine bar with friends. Um, Sunday I took a yoga class and, uh...worked in the garden.
Jenny: OMG, you're so cool!
A blue cat holds up a sign pointing at Lisa that says 'Liar."

So true, sadly. When asked what I’ve been up to I can’t say all the exciting and dramatic stuff my Werewolf roleplaying group got up to so I say I ‘worked on writing some stories’. Kinda sorta almost true…

Anyway, good luck on this comic succeeding. Is it your first webcomic?

LOL forwarded the website to my wife and told her “although the comic is called lies” it is the truth! me and my wife both play wow (of course im much more into it than her). But i will surely stay tuned. thanks

Good stuff – so true. You’re bmarked with me, I’m looking forwards to seeing more comics.
I get this same situation with my coworkers, I play the “Oh I got together with some friends for a game night” and amuse myself with what they assume that means.

Muaha! I love it! I’m sometimes hesitant to mention my WoW playing to other women cause I guess girl gamers are still more rare than they should be, but older women? Forget it, they have no idea what the heck it is. I keep trying to get my mom to play though, and I’m not giving up on her yet. 😉 Great comic!

Ha! that is so true… but I try and deny that I am doing anything “wrong” and when I get blank stares I try and explain but then i just tell my friends “You r noobs r got pwnd wit EPIC funness and no chance of rez! RoxorsBoxors FTW lolcakes roflmao!” and that just keeps them from ever asking me again… so I don’t have to be embarrassed about the answer…

Told some of me classmates that I play WoW, they were totally surprised.
See, I wear gothic clothing and I’m called Marianne ‘The Wise’, so they didn’t think WoW fitted in with me. Now, besides ‘The Wise’ I’m also ‘The Nerd’.
*sigh* I wish someone in my class plays WoW too 🙁

Wow This Is Awesome. I’ve Never Played WoW before, But I Love Love Love Video Games. Don’t Know If I Have An Addiction Or Not, So I’m Trying To Limit Myself. Found This, This Looks Like It Will Be Awesome. I Know I’m Posting Years Late, But I Just Wanted To Say Thank You For Creating A Webcomic Dedicated To Video Gamers Like Me (Although This Comes In A Close Second To My Favorite Webcomic Of All Time, See If You Can Guess What It Is.) 🙂

Just Got Back Here After Binge-Reading All Of Your Comics. I Love Every Single One Of Them, But Sometimes It’s Nice To Go Down Memory Lane And See How Much You’ve Improved Mary. While I Know This Specific Comment Is Way Too Late For You To Read It, I Just Wanted To Let You Know How Much I Appreciate What You Do.
